Wolves of Stone Ridge: Book Thirty-Seven The vampire Vadim Kuznetsov has watched every member of his family find their beloveds—the other halves of their souls. Some were able to connect fairly easily, while others had a rocky road. They are all now happy, though. Vadim wants that for himself, but fears it as well. He's a big man, and his anatomy is even bigger. So big that some lovers have even complained. What if he hurts his beloved? Joining his family at a restaurant, Vadim's worst fears are realized. He meets his beloved, the human Kendrick, who turns out to be a small, slender twink. The boisterous human is straightforward with his interest, but Vadim's concerns hold him back.
